How old does a boy have to be to have corrective surgery for an underbite?

Q. How old does a boy have to be to have corrective surgery for an underbite?

A. It is very difficult to answer this. My advice would be to have a consultation and examination with a oral and maxilofacial surgeon or orthodontist.
